The aim of this study was to determine the fattening and slaughter performance of Pekin ducks. For this purpose, a total of eighteen male ducklings were fed during 8 weeks in the first stage. 2433g average live weight (ALW) with 2,4 feed conversion ratio (FCR) were obtained at the end of fattening period. Average live weight, carcass yield, carcass weight, heart - liver weight and gizzard weight were measured as 2480 g, 65.3%, 1620 g, 124 g and 74 g respectively in slaughtered five male ducks.

Pekin Ördeklerinde Besi ve Kesim Performansı Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı Pekin ördeklerinde besi ve kesim performanslarının belirlenmesidir. Besi performansını belirlemek için palazlar 8 hafta süreyle besiye alınmıştır. Besi dönemi sonunda 2,4 yemden değerlendirme oranı (YDO) ile 2433 g ortalama canlı ağırlık (OCA) elde edilmiştir. Kesime alınan ortalama 2480 g kesim ağırlığına sahip erkek ördeklerde %65.3 randımanla 1620 g karkas ağırlığı, 124 g yürek ve karaciğer ağırlığı ile 74 g taşlık ağırlığı elde edilmiştir.
